I don't know if you can still get them from the ruins but only the compressed fuel tanks actually function in game.
The advanced weapons, even if you got the tech, can't be used in component design.
I'm sure this will be added back at some point.
I got them working by setting their type equal to their parent type in the DB - this works perfectly for anything that's not a railgun (adv railguns you also have to go into their component and set them to fire 5 and not 4 shots).
So you can set adv lasers to be a "laser" and their tech will appear in component design next to the standard laser options.
Of course disclaimers relating to DB editing still stands but I've been using stuff like railgun turrets, adv particle lances, adv railguns and even "heavy" railgun variants with absolutely no issues in combat.
I am curious how one would go about doing that. . . b/c when i tried i could design e. g. advanced lasers, but they would behave just like normal lasers would statwise.
